74 Ranch - breeders of Black Angus Cattle, both commercial and registered with the American Angus Association. We raise our cattle in the high mountains of central Wyoming so high-altitude, tough cattle with good feet are a must.  Our commercial bred females and calves regularly top the cattle sales, and our Registered Black Angus bulls sell to repeat customers every year.

ABOUT US:

We have been ranchers in Wyoming for over 40 years.  Tom was raised in Shoshoni Wyoming and made many long journeys after cattle in the mountains along with irrigating pastures/hay grounds in the summers. He is a 'horse whisperer' (In our opinion) and should have gone to school to be a vet (he's very good at it!).  Michele was raised in central Michigan around horses, dogs and cats and was always an animal lover.  We got together in 1984, had our son Garrett, who has continued working with us on the ranch,  in 1987 and moved the ranch to Ft Laramie Wyoming in 1993.  We had some severe blizzards there, lost a bunch of calves, a few cows and a baby foal and decided we wanted to get closer to 'civilization'... so we moved southeast of Torrington Wyoming in 2000.  In 2009 our daughter-in-law Kyla joined the family.  She added a few additional little ones to the family, Emmett, in 2017 and Zoey in 2020.  We raise Quarter Horses and Black Angus Cattle  (here in Torrington and on the mountains near Shoshoni),  Michele started breeding Mini Aussies in 2005.  We raised a few herding dog litters for the ranch throughout the years - Aussies and Border/Aussie crosses then we got a Mini and fell in love with the size.  We want the "Full Package" in everything we raise - we want the best of the best horses, cattle and dogs.  We finally feel like we have that in all 3 and strive to improve each.  Please see more information on the drop downs above for the horses and dogs.  We sell our Angus bulls to the same buyers every year so until that changes there won't be much info on them. You are welcome to come visit or call to find our more info!  Please join our Facebook pages: 74 Ranch Mini Aussies; 74 Ranch Quarter Horses and 74 Ranch Black Angus!
